Jeffrey Lockwood Vs Carl Jung

I can first remember being terrified of spiders at five years old when I would run away from the black widows that infested my backyard. To this day, I am still terrified of spiders. The bigger the spider, the more scared I become. I also fear insects if I do not know what type of insect it is. While I have had this fear for the majority of my life, I do not know why I fear these arachnids or unknown insects. That is why when I came across this article dealing with the insects that haunt the human mind, I decided to use it for my paper. Within this article, Jeffrey Lockwood, compares two different viewpoints on how humans are haunted by bugs. Lockwood explains the two different views of Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung. Sigmund Freud believed fear of bugs dealt with psychological problems, while Carl Jung believed the fear of insects was more based on the theories that are memories come from our inherited memories. In which the memories we have now, were learned through the evolution of the past race. (Lockwood, 2017) …show more content…

Yet it still stood for a bigger idea. For example, he proposed that the fear of being bitten by a spider represented the fear of being punished by one’s father. (Lockwood, 2017) This was especially interesting to me because I have had a fear since I was very young. I was also very young when I had learned how not to get in trouble to the point I would be punished physically. Simple spankings, not anything abusive. While I am not sure this is accurate with Freud’s theories, it seemed possible to connect these ideals to situations in my personal

Exploring Rumsfeld’s logic in literature, people use it to explain characters’ fears. As it goes, if someone knows, or understands something then there’s nothing to fear, but if they don’t know something, or they’re aware there’s more they don’t understand, it’s easier to be afraid of the unknown. In Young Goodman Brown, the protagonist knew the man he met in the woods wasn’t normal, but he wasn’t afraid. He knew the woods were considered bad or taboo by his religion, but because of his faith, he wasn’t scared.

Fear is something we all have programmed into our genes; it is nature installing a “caution” button inside us, because sometimes the unknown in nature really was extremely dangerous to us. Unknown might mean for example…eating a poisonous berry, it might mean getting lost from your tribe and it might mean entering a dangerous place that could kill you. There was a real point to fearing the unknown back then, it prolonged your life so that you might grow up strong, have your own family, spread your genes and keep your tribe

I realised I wanted to study something to do with science after attending the Uncaged Monkeys tour a few years ago, where Brian Cox, Richard Wiseman and Ben Goldacre really inspired me to learn more about science and gave me a desire to be part of the great expansions happening in science today. This interest narrowed to chemistry because of my enjoyment of the subject. Chemistry fascinates me. The way that everything that has ever or will ever exist can be simplified down to 118 different elements is something I find astounding and the way that these elements form life in many different forms is incredible.

As a child, my fears were confined to the normal childish things like monsters in the closet or being in the dark. But something was different about my fears because, as I got older, they didn’t go away. I used to try to scare my fears away by reading scary stories and watching movies, but I still can’t sleep with the closet door open. Fear can have many different forms, it can come from a place of mental unrest or physical harm and past experiences. For me, it just happens to be all of the above.

Some parents believe that “disciplining” their children will allow their child to “toughen up”. However, it tends to create a lack of love and trust between the child and the parent. This leads to there being no foundation of trusting others later in their lives. Furthermore, this could lead to isolation, in which intense fantasies become the primary source of gratification. Ann Burgess, John Douglas, and Robert Ressler in their book Sexual Homicide: Patterns and Motives write, “instead

This study was conducted on April 25, 2016 by experts at The University of Texas at Austin and the University of Michigan. Elizabeth Gershoff and co-author Andrew Grogan-Kaylor. Their study focuses on what most Americans would see as spanking and not a potentially abusive behavior. During their study they found that spanking your children can cause them to defy their parents more frequently and can also cause a lifelong mental health issue. It showed as the frequency of spanking increases, the likelihood of anti-social behavior, mental health issues, and aggression also increases.

Freud’s psychoanalytical theory, while having some credence, cannot be taken into account in its entirety because this case study on Little Hans was non-scientific. Further, while persons with phobias would most likely recall early childhood distressing occurrences, this theory pays little or no attention to the environmental factors which may have led to the development of phobias. His study was also biased and debatable because his findings were based solely on second hand information from Hans’ father. Therefore his findings could not be generalized to a wider population.

In different instances, this would come up in conversations and the reactions were for the majority “that’s awful” or “poor thing” or “I can’t understand how anyone could do such a thing” and I never fully understood why. My mother was raised with an abusive father and a compromising mother (who too was dealing with the abuse), so I have seen how a negative experience can have a positive impact/result (message) on a person/child. I have now grown a curiosity to understand the different limits of child abuse and believe what my parents did benefitted me and any other children who received this discipline. With that in mind, I am going to define, and explore different aspects of child abuse with some modern examples.     Some people believe that physical punishments can be degrading and negatively affect the mental health of the child compared to those who think it teaches discipline and how to respect others without any significant damage to the child 's psyche.
